Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy confirms StarWars won't repeat the young Han Solo recasting method after the 2018 movie bombed. 'There should be moments along the way when you learn things.'
Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy confirms that Star Wars won't repeat the young Han Solo recasting trend after the failed anthology movie. As the franchise came roaring back to life with Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Lucasfilm sought to expand the stories with a roster of anthology films, beginning with the successful Rogue One: A Star Wars Story in 2016.
Alden Ehrenreich led the cast of Solo: A Star Wars Story as the titular character with Donald Glover also taking over fan-favorite Lando Calrissian from Billy Dee Williams while Joonas Suotamo reprised his role of Chewbacca from The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi and the likes of Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clark, Thandiwe Newton, Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Paul Bettany made their franchise debuts.
In an expansive Star Wars profile with Vanity Fair, Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy opened up about the young Han Solo recasting for the 2018 anthology movie centered on the character. When asked about the possibility of other iconic characters getting the same treatment, Kennedy confirmed the Star Wars franchise won't be recasting any other characters in the same vein, with the studio having learned their lesson after Solo's failure.
